Change The Main Window Bars (Just Add A Picture To Them)?
Jun 24, 2012
want to change the main window bars (Just add a picture to them) so they are not so boring, i have used themes before so know it is possible, but unsure of how to change this single item. May be that i will have to get an entire theme again but just hoping there is a better way. so to be clear here is what i mean, on my Chrome (I have a chrome theme installed) you see the tree's on the bars, then you see my explorer frame and you see nothing but the plain old boring bar.
I was wondering is there any plugin for Windows 7 that allows you to expand a folder without actually clicking into the folder?
Basically the functionality that is in the navigation pane but not for the main explorer window. OS X and Ubuntu both have this feature, anyone know of a plugin for explorer or a registry tweak to add this functionality (for the main window)???
Here are the screenshots of OS X and Ubuntu so you know exactly of what I'm talking about.
When I go to insert a picture in a certain program the "picture services" window pops up. I go to choose the "icon size" for my photos and it will not remember the selection, "medium icons" for the size of my photos in the selection window. It always reverts back to "large icons". I can only see 2 pictures at a time with "large icons" instead of 8 with "medium icons". No matter which option I choose to view my pictures it always reverts back to "large icons".
Main computer is the office computer. Its a desktop that a person is constantly on and doing stuff. There are 3 others that need the same information and documents at any given time. These 3 people have their laptops that are constantly switching wifi hotspots. They need to change information sometimes, and need access to all of it any time. The way its setup now is 1 person is on the main computer, but when one of the three need to access it, they remotely log in and take control. Only one person can access the computer at a time. How do I set it up so all four of these people can access and change the files at the same time if they want? The main computer is being used constantly, but someone always needs a document or file while the main person is working on it. So it slows production when someone logs in.
change the login screen picture , I have followed the instructions on google and when I click Find on the OMEBackground no files appear and then I'm stuck, there are no Instructions that I can find for that??
I upgraded from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional. I used the Easy Transfer program to migrate my files. I reinstalled some of my software before moving my user settings back onto the system.
I went in to change my User Account pictures and there is no option to save changes to either account. It shows the picture selection but no Save Changes button at the bottom of the window.
I'm back to hating Microsoft unless this is my user error. (and using Windows doesn't count as an error)
The upgrade has been working pretty well for Microsoft and I'm really pleased with the improved performance but get irritated by the little challenges.
I've been trying to change my user account picture in the control panel, it worked, and it showed up in the start menu, but it didn't change in the logon screen (still dell default icon).My system is Dell precision M6600, win7pro 64-bit. My user account has administrator right (in fact I am the only user).
Is it possible with Win7 to change any picture (Jpeg, png, bmp etc) into an icon file to use for a folder image?I just realised that its not an actual folder... its a shortcut which has a folder as an icon, Its actually a shortcut to a folder on another drive, but I'd still like to change it to an image I choose.
I have just got a new laptop with windows 7. Every thing is fine except all programs are working fine and I can see everything on the screen on all programs, except one! That would be a camera program by canon called camrera launcher. The image is so large I cannot get to the bottom to operate the controls. If I change the resolution that messes up every thing else. So I need to fix this screen....
How can I change in my default Windows Aero Theme? I used cmd and sfc /scannow and get an error while scanning. Anyway, here's the preview of my computer specs and problem. Please see attached images.
On my laptop I have windows 7. But on my older computer I have windows XP.Back in Windows XP I would log into the administrator by doing ctrl alt delete x2 at the login page, and something basic like this would pop up instead of me clicking on an avatar/icon:
Log On to Windows User name: _____________ Password: _____________
Then I would type in administrator and my password to login as an admin, or I would type in my username(Aaron) and my password. One time when I had a friend over and he started up my computer he made a comment about how my login page had one account(named Aaron), without the subtitle of administrator on it. Part1: Is it natural to have one account not as an admin? I want to keep the Aaron account and leave the administrator hidden, and only be able to access it by doing ctrl alt delete. (so far its fine in Win XP)Now on to part 2 of my question. My parents have windows 7 on their laptop, and the one account(called family) is the admin. If I change my OS to windows 7(which I plan on doing), am I still able to switch to the Admin account and leave Aaron as just a regular user? I can't find a way to do it on my laptop or my parents laptop.I just looked again and if I go to Control Panel - user accounts- change the way users log in/offit says Aaron is the admin. why I can still log in as the username administrator?
Whenever I play a video file (.wmv, mpg, etc) or audio (.mp3), MP starts out at the last size it "remembered." But when it opens the file and starts playing it, the window gets really small, like a default size and makes it difficult and annoying to re-size it to an appropriate size. Most annoying is MP becomes smaller such that the volume control on it disappears to just being a toggle for mute. Is there any way to change the default size of MP?
I used to have folders with a display of pictures on the front. Now I have plain folders, when opened, they have an icon to click and the a large picture shows up. I would like to open the folder and see the thumbprints immediately. Toshiba Satellite running Win 7.
I have two toolbars in IE 9 that are both very short. I would like to merge them on the same line. I used to be able to do this by clickin on the handle on the left end, then move it when a 4 point arrow showed up, which it is now NOT showing up.
i have been playing this game which has black bars on the side for quite a long period of time. So im kind of use to it. But yesterday, i accidentally did something to it. I right click the game.exe and set the compatibiliy mode to xp 3. And this make my game go full screen. So im wondering how can i change it back to the original size which has black bars on it! I have been checking online, but all it tells me is how to get rid of the black bars when i want the black bars back.
I have a home built Rig. Running Windows 7 RC 7100. Very happy with it. I just had a DVI/HDMI adapter, 15ft HDMI 1.3 cable and a 20ft coax cable delivered. MONOprice.com for the win on those(less than $20 delivered in less than a week)
Anywayz, I set up the cables and all to my Toshiba 37" LCD 37HL67 and the coax to my reciever. audio is working. And even the dual monitor set-up thru Windows 7 works great. However, I am having a "desktop fitting the FULL screen" problem.
It is showing black barz top, bottom, left, and right. Not fitting the complete screen. My TV res is 1366x768. which i have win 7 set to. it seems to be the fullest on the entire screen. But not completely. It does not matter if i make it the main mont or not. Wont change. My GPU is a ASUS 4830 from Newegg(another winner ).
I do have the latest drivers and even tried to play with the CCC and started seeing problems becasue i was doing a trial and error sesh and i stopped quickly. I am not PC inept but I am not the most savy creature either. This one is beyond me at this point.
When I turn on Aero settings my desktop wallpaper is scrambled along with title bars of applications. Everything else will work fine for a bit, but after a while it 'crashes' and Aero is automatically turned off.
The card I'm using is the ASUS SILENT Radeon HD 3650.
I've searched the threads and solutions to no avail. One member has a similar issue and solved it by switching motherboards (started with a SIS 648 chipset). Unfortunately I only have a SIS 648 chipset motherboard available.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution? I've attached screenshots of the effects described.
Okay, so I got a new computer recently and it worked great on my campus' Wi-Fi network for about a week. Then all of a sudden the stability of my connection dropped down to nothing. For the past several days, I have barely been able to get on the Internet at all and my Wi-Fi signal can never make it above two bars. My roommates' computers and my own MacBook and iOS devices have no problems at all.This problem has been driving me crazy because the primary purpose of this new computer is multiplayer gaming, which of course is the one thing it CAN'T do is play online games. Can anyone think of any client-side reason why the Wi-Fi on a brand new computer would just spontaneously combust, or is this just something I need to talk about with the network administration on my campus?
My computer has Realtek HD audio. In my previous installation of windows 7, the tray volume icon would show several audio outputs at once. For example, if I clicked the volume icon it would have have a volume control for the Speakers (rear audio out), the headphones (front audio out), and the HDMI audio that my GTX460 sends. Now, I can only get one of them to show at a time. What's going on?
